Padiș: Autumn Moments

Autumn in Padiș can be beautiful, espacially when the weather and the lights are favorable. This was only partly true this time. Here, I expected a nice sunset at the Boga belvedere:

Next day I set off to the Evantai waterfall:

The water yield decreased everywhere, the waterfall was no exception:

Play of lights at the Galbena Rock:

High Tatras: At The Green Lake Again

This time I went to one of my favourite places: to the Green Lake in High Tatras. In autumn I haven't been here yet. I counted on some more colorful trees but the place is beautiful anyway:

You can meet these confidential alpine accentors practically on every peak:

I recorded this bird on Velká Svištovka peak.

The lake is not called "Green Lake" by chance:

I met this bird on the Jahňací peak next day:

Clouds came and went all day:

Next morning at the White Lake:

Twilight at the Medodoly valley:

Farewell to the Green Lake:

I spent here four beautiful days but next time I have to come here a little later when the trees are even more colorful. :)

 

Piatra Craiului Mountains

The Piatra Craiului Mountains has been on my mind for a while. I've had a free week and I decided to go and climb it. I spent one night in the Ascuțit shelter on top of the mountain. The evening was beautiful, ...:

... but the morning was more exciting: chamoices were coming and going nearby, fortunately they were not too timid:

Sunrise:

Next day I visited the Zărnești Gorges:

On my way home I took a rest at Remeți Gorges:

 

Western Tatras

 

In middle of July I visited new places: I made some hiking in the Wetern Tatras, nearby the Ziarska Cottage. 

On the way to Banikov peak:

Next day after rain:

Rohac Lakes

This shot is due to the fog following day as I couldn't see anything else:

Alpine Bellflower

Later the fog started to disappear:

Retezat Mountains: Spring At Lake Bucura

I planned a few days hiking trip in the Retezat Mountains with my cousin at the end of June. Our campsite was at the amazing Lake Bucura. On first day we visited the higher smaller lakes which are just melting now:

Tăul Porții

Photographers in the "evaporating" snow:

Rhododendrons are not in full bloom yet, but they're nice:

Morning try:

Mikepércs: Evening Attempt

I've given a try this evening again with poppies:

Mikepércs: Youngs

Today the young tits appeared at the pool:

... but the first spotted flycatcher has appeared:

Vekeri-Lake: Looking For Grebes

This year the Veri-Lake was filled up with water. But yellow flowers have covered its surface too. I became curious about how the birds would look like among these flowers. Previously I have caught a swan from the shore, ...:

Mute Swan

... but I wanted to make closer photos. Thats why I've given a try today at dawn from a self-made raft. The great crested grebe gave me some chance, ...:

Great Crested Grebe

... just like the coots, ...:

... but the good scenes missed.
